Staple Edge Halt railway station is a disused railway station opened by the Great Western Railway (GWR) on the former Bullo Pill Railway, later known as the GWR Forest of Dean Branch.
The Halt was located about 3 miles 15 chains from Newnham on a 1 in 71 gradient.[1]
The station opened when the Passenger services were introduced on 3 August 1907 and served the cottages that were owned by H. Crawshay & Co., the staple edge brickworks and Eastern United Colliery.[2]
The low platform was constructed from wood. A pagoda style building was provided from the outset.[3]
A two-lever ground frame gave access to the sidings of Eastern United Colliery until 1912 when a new goods loop was provided on the west side of the single line.[4]
The points and signals were worked from a new 21 lever signal box, containing a frame of 17 working levers and 4 spare. The new facilities had been installed and were in use by December 1913.[5]
The frame was later extended to 23 levers in the connection with the installation of the Cast House Sidings on the East side of the single line.[6]
